UPDATED: SEP 14, 2013 Pour is a dark amber brown. Very clear. Scent is of vanilla, sugar, mint, and a hint of chocolate. Taste is a dark malty flavor backed by hints of vanilla and mint. Hardly any bitterness... not much for hops. Finish is light bitter though. Its OK.

Draft. Pours a deep amber brown with no head. Aromas of absolute sweetness - brown sugar, subtle mint, caramel and toffee. Matching taste - cloying and overpowering through the finish. Way too much in this winter ale

Pours dark amber with an off white head. Aroma is dark fruits, vanilla and malts. Sweet malts, carmel, toffee and vanilla flavours with a medium body and carbonation. A little sweet for me but not bad.

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2016 Orange amber. Big bubbly beige head that dissipates rather quickly, but leaves behind a lot of lace. The aroma is pleasantly adorned with notes of toffee, caramel, floral hops, and bread. The flavour pales however. Mostly sweet malts and grain with caramel. Sticky on the palate and it tends to thin out as it hits the back of the mouth. Not enough body or alcohol to be a winter offering.
